Last week, some 'green' protester threw a cup of green-stained custard over our deeply disliked Business Secretary. Apparently, she was upset about proposals for a 3rd runway at Heathrow. There are several disturbing features about this incident.
First, she was allowed to walk away after this assault and only three hours ago (as I write) has she been arrested.
Second. How could she get so close to a Cabinet Minister?
Third. Mandelson himself is said to dislike a lot of security people about him. OK, Mandy but what about the other folks around you? What if it had been concentrated sulphuric acid and it had splashed others? What if it had been a hand grenade?
Fourth: At the time, the police said that they 'are not obliged to investigate an incident of this kind unless a formal complaint has been made.' How bloody ridiculous.
Reminds me of the time I reported seeing a 'hit and run' car accident. Then the police told me that they could do nothing until the victim complained. When I asked if the same policy applied to murder cases, I was told not to be cheeky.
